Combined process of hot and cold forging with different forging directions

Abstract

The invention relates to a combination of methods for producing a component by closed-die hot forging and cold forging with different forging directions. First, a billet is provided and heated to a temperature above the recrystallization temperature. This is followed by closed-die hot forging with a first demolding direction ({right arrow over (rg)}), to obtain a hot forged part. The hot forged part is then cooled and clamped in a forming tool. This is followed by cold forging of the hot forged part, wherein a second demolding direction ({right arrow over (rk)}) during cold forging is different from the first demolding direction ({right arrow over (rg)}) during closed-die hot forging. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a corresponding component.
